I live in southern Ohio and the plants does well here. It dies back in the fall but comes back in the summer. They like plenty of sunshine.

I live in the panhandle of FL. The temperature here my drop to the low 20's at times. This past winter was extremely cold and we even had enough ice to close down schools. The plant faired well through it all and is doing fine. When I received it the top broken from the transport and I was worried the damage would possibly kill it. My fuyu seems to be doing fine so far and I hope to be seeing fruit next year. I don't believe you will have any issues with it in Ca. Good luck.

Don't know how well it will grow in Massachusetts. But it's growing well in my garden in California right now.

According to all the plant books I have read the Hardiness Zone for Central Maryland has been listed as: 4 - 9 (-20 degrees F). Yes, you should be able to grow this plant in your area. The plant is prone to root rot if planted in too moist soil. Plant in well drained, neutral to alkaline soil, in a sunny area. Plant can withstand some foot traffic, but not much. I wouldn't make a habit of walking on it.

That should be fine. I grew them in St Louis last year. They are a bit stringy and sensitive to moving them around.

As far as I know Fuyu is rated for zones 7 to 9. I'm in zone 8A. For zone 6 your best bet is the American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) rated for zones 5 to 9.

in zone 9 it will be about 15 feet tall in about 6 to 7 years - it will start bearing fruit next year

I would go the pot culture route. I'm in Northern VA, and the one I planted in the ground last fall survived our nasty winter, although I covered it when the temps got into the single digits. A lot of my neighbors have fuyus so I figured I might be able to grow one, although I'm at the northern extreme of its range. MA is probably too far north for this kind of persimmon. The American kind would probably do fine, but they grow very tall, the fruit is small with large seeds, and if it isn't cooked or frozen it can be extremely astringent.

I'm in zone 5. The tree was pretty small when it arrived last fall, but it lived through our winter, which killed other plants

With protection, yes. I had a relative plant one successfully in sheltered portion of his yard in Charlottesville, VA and it did well. I planted mine near the house hear in southern New England and it seems to be doing well. I would plant it near a heated structure, cover it with hay or mulch, then plastic in the winter and cut it back before covering. Give it a lightly shaded location, mulch the roots and it will just love Manassas. You can see one growing in the botanical gardens in Arlington. I saw one growing successfully in Salamanca, New York to an enormous size and another doing very well in Norwich, Connecticut. Good luck! With protection, yes.

Yes - ours is doing beautifully and already has new growth. We planted in the ground and have kept moist. We live in Nashville. I believe it will grow very well.

As long as you bring it inside in the winter. We have one near Buffalo, NY and its doing great. My husband's grandfather has had a lemon tree (that fruits several times a year) for 15 years and he lives in Boston, MA.

Well, I'm in zone 9 and it said zones 7-9 so I would say yes. Mine is a 2-3 yr old tree though and it's doing beautifully!

I'm probably not the best person to answer that question. Living in Ormond Beach, Florida, frost is generally not a problem for us. My suggestion is that you contact the Davidson family at DAS Farms who initially grew the tree. I believe they are located in Alabama. Their e-mail is dasfarmstn@yahoo.com. Hope you can get an answer. Joe Stock
